Minute is time to get letters out? (8)
I believe the answer is:
misspell
'letters out?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with communicating as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'minute is time' is the wordplay.
'minute' becomes 'm' (abbreviation).
'time' becomes 'spell' (both can mean a short period of time).
'm'+'is'+'spell'='MISSPELL'
'to get' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for misspell that I've seen before include "Use the wrong letters" , "Write the wrong letters for a word" , "Smell, sip (anag.)" , "Write a word wrongly" .)
